Happy will they be who lend ear to the words of the dead.

Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.

He who does not oppose evil......commands it to be done.

Very great charm of shadow and light is to be found in the faces of those who sit in the doors of dark houses. The eye of the spectator sees that part of the face which is in shadow lost in the darkness of the house, and that part of the face which is lit draws its brilliancy from the splendour of the sky. From this intensification of light and shade the face gains greatly in relief and beauty by showing the subtlest shadows in the light part and the subtlest lights in the dark part.

Not to anticipate is already to moan.

He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.

In life beauty perishes, but not in art.
